I swear I used to work with that guy in eastern Kentucky

That hurts to read.

I’m sorry to hear that and i hope it gets better for you and your wife. It’s not easy hitting those deductibles when one or both of you aren’t able to work.

Facts. I had a major health issue essentially overnight, no long term disability but decent health insurance. Maxed out my deductible 2 consecutive years, was unable to work for 10 months. Still in medical debt with no savings almost 3 years later because of this setback. Hoping to get the debt paid off in the next year and start saving up again.

Which one are you voting for?

I’d like to find a viable 3rd party candidate that can win the presidential election and disrupt the 2 party system we currently have.

Buddy, not all Asians love KFC

I also got Boulder with top 3 of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Portugal. The Man, and Flatbush Zombies

King Gizz was number 1 on my list this year too. Honestly, surprised how many I’m seeing in this thread lol

Thanks Biden

Weed mostly just gives me anxiety since I hit 30. I used to be a daily smoker in my teens and twenties.

Is “slaps” still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.

We can’t disappoint the stakeholders. Next 12 months needs to be hotter.

My wife and I have an Australian shepard named Olive. We’ve already committed to getting a mini and naming it caper

You look good and it looks like you’re making an effort to do so. That first impression is a huge first step in interviewing! Good luck!

Try mansplaining. Rephrase their argument, use it as your new position and act like they don’t get it.

What a weird comment. They are not even remotely comparable.

I have a pretty uncommon name and happen to share it with a local news reporter/host. I don’t ever watch the local news so I rarely think about it.

At least a few times a year someone I don’t know will bring it up. Mostly it’s if I have an appointment or made reservations. I’ll check in and they’ll have a disappointed look and say they expected someone else.

Rant:

I had a pretty intense acid trip once and came to the conclusion that nothing matters, there is no meaning to life, there is only an illusion of free will, and most likely our existence and personal experiences in life will be completely forgotten within 3 generations (almost like we never existed to begin with). I was super duper depressed after that for several months.

It eventually gave me a different outlook on life though. If it’s only temporary and there is no meaning, I can create my own meaning and enjoyment in life. Live in the moment, do what you want, and create as much meaning and enjoyment for yourself as you can while you have the opportunity. Don’t worry about what others might think because eventually their existence is going to be forgotten as well.

The act of dying might suck, but being dead and not existing seems very serene. Sometimes things just sort of end.

I thought this was AI. My brain did not comprehend this at first look.

I just left the restaurant industry after 10 years (mostly as a cook). This is too accurate, unfortunately 😐
